GUILTY MA - Colleen Ritzer, 24, brutally murdered, Danvers, 22 Oct 2013 #2

[Skigirl]

So, I am feeling very irritated with Chism's attorney, even though I am the first to say that I want everyone who goes on trial to get a vigorous and excellent defense and a fair trial. First of all, I am calling BS on "email" being a legit cause for failure to notify the ADA about her additional expert. Second, I agree with the judge that the state deserves a fair trial and that she shouldn't be able to pick and choose from Philip's various mental health evals. Very dirty trick telling the jury in opening statements that he had a long history of mental health issues and that he had received a psychosis diagnosis, implying that an evaluation said he was psychotic at the time of the murder. Apparently, he was diagnosed as psychotic and the putative precipitating cause was stress relating to his trial, years after the crime. I am so irritated that I could spit.

Finally, I have no idea about the rules of law with regard to admitting observations from the mental health facility where he was confined, but in my mind, the people who work day-in-day-out with those harboring mental illnesses are extremely expert, even if they are not credentialed as therapists. If they say he was "manipulative" I believe it, and it is certainly consistent with what appeared to be his attempt to stop the trial by saying he didn't want to leave his cell because he was afraid he would hurt someone.

I do not have an ounce of sympathy for PC. He is dangerous, manipulative, lacking empathy much less remorse, and I hope he's off the streets until he is way too old to inflict harm on anyone else.

I thought PC was being tried as an adult. Did this change?

The email thing seems a bit lame to me, too. Some courts are more lax on rules than others. I know in my personal experience, some judges were more accommodating of late disclosures than others -some would have told the defense attorney it was a no go automatically. Generally, the judge does have to balance the interests of the defendant with fairness to the state.

In terms of what was said in the opening statement, both the state and the defense have wide latitude with what they can say, as the statements are not evidence. However, it does look bad for either side to reference something in their statement and then not present that facet of the case to the jury. It leaves them hanging and wondering what happened. That said, totally within the bounds of proper argument, and in the defense attorney's defense (that's a tongue twister!), it's possible that diagnosis may come in. So I can see why they would bring it up. If it doesn't though, it's going to leave the jury wondering about that loose end. :twocents:

In terms of admitting expert opinions, there's a process to it. Here's the rule which governs expert testimony. http://www.mass.gov/courts/case-leg...icle-vii-opinion-and-expert-evidence.html#702

Basically, either side must disclose their experts ahead of time and provide the other side with a written report of the expert's opinion and his/her C.V. a certain length of time before trial, so that opposing counsel has time to prepare. Once you get to trial, the side putting on the witness must go through a series of questions about the expert's experience to lay an evidentiary foundation to establish that they are an expert in their field. If there's some haggling over this, you can get into a Daubert hearing, which is basically more procedural arguing over whether someone can or cannot be considered an expert. If they are established through testimony as an expert, the attorney will make an oral motion for the court to recognize the witness as an expert, and then they will get to the meat and potatoes of the argument.

For someone who works at a mental health facility who isn't a therapist, they can testify what Chism was doing, and maybe get somewhere in comparing him to other inmates, but it's not likely. The state would probably be restricted to questioning them about what they witnessed, rather than opinions. :twocents:

Thanks for the information about the opening statement and the rules around expert witnesses. I was mostly just ranting/venting, but I appreciate understanding the law better. It's interesting about opening statements and what they can say versus what they need to show. I would think the jury wouldn't remember a nuance like, "they said he was recently diagnosed as psychotic and we haven't seen anything to show that he actually was diagnosed..." but I suppose the prosecution would point that out?

I was actually asked by a prosecution team in New Hampshire to testify that a (IIRC) 12-year-old's brain is more like an adult's than a child's once, but turned it down because I didn't agree (err, I don't even see how that's logically possible since a 12-year-old is a child and their brains are different from 8-year-olds brains on the one hand and 20- or 40-year-olds brains on the other and since a 12-year-old is a child, isn't it a tautology that his/her brain would be like a child's? It's sort of hurting my brain just thinking about it.). I wish I had been able to support their position because it would have been super-interesting to see how it all works from that point of view.

[RoiPD86]

Psychosis is a symptom, not a disorder. That being said I am troubled by the Defenses tactics to try to prove Philip Chism had some undiagnosed mental disorder during this vile and horrific crime. Is it true that we have no evidence that Philip suffered any unusual trauma within the previous 2 weeks or so before the murder? To say that he has experienced psychosis from the mental trauma of the trial is entirely rational to me and most I believe. I whole heartedly believe this was crime motivated by a deep seated vile feeling towards women with a sexual component. I am sorry but a poor relationship with your mother or father does not automatically create mental illness and so many children who experience this throughout their upbringing don't grow into monsters. I am tired of the insanity defense being such a sought after defense.

[AnaTeresa]

It's going to be difficult for the Defense to navigate this, in my opinion. They want it both ways, but they have to be very careful not to open the door by bringing up certain evidence that's currently inadmissible. Under the rules of evidence, if the Defense introduces some types of evidence that reflect poorly on the defendant, that opens the door for the State to have a free for all with it. Basically, there are no take-backs. If part comes in, all comes in. ETA: Plus, there's the inadmissible evidence which could potentially cause a mistrial. It's a real minefield.

I'm going only off of tweets, but I really don't understand the Defense tactics right now. :twocents:
